check your agitator, there may be jagged edges snagging items causing damage....
if you have a large capacity, I recommend the Load Sensor agitator....but then again, either one unless new, may have rough edges as well that need sanded down....
not a normal thing for jagged edges, but it can happen...
button, zippers, clips, etc can cause scraping inside a machine.....it may be the other way around, your clothing is causing damage to your machine!...
as for drying temps.....it was told to me, and in fact I just checked on my gas maytag.....for a setting of example of LOW, 120 degrees....this is not modulated, and 120 is not when the heat turns off, but when the heat turns ON....goes all the way up to 170, cuts off and continues to run until the temp drops to 120, then it comes on again....my Kenmore and GE do the same thing.....
so in thinking clothing is not subject to hot temps when washing.....IT SURE IS if your using a dryer....
see for yourself, as I just did, stick a meat thermometer in your dryer....and monitor when the heat source comes on and goes off for all your available temperature selections....
people are funny in washing denim jeans in cold, to prevent shrinking and fading....then tossing into a dryer....hence the blue tinted drums....nope, no fading going on there....and no chance of shrinkage in a 180 degree dryer!
